New hair, clean teeth



Today was a big day for little Gabriella, she had her first full service haircut. Meaning, hair washed, cut and blown dry. Actually we skipped the hair washing, when she sat in the chair her head didn't even reach the bowl. I've included her before and after pictures.  She was really well behaved, sat very still and thanked the lady who cut her hair after she was done.
She proclaimed that she loved her Ariel haircut to everyone we met on the walk out to the car. 
As if one activity wasn't enough for one day Gabriella also had her teeth cleaned.  We had her dental exam yesterday, no cavities, good spacing, great brushing!! Today was the cleaning. Gabriella had been to the dentist 3 times before we moved here. She's old hat at it, although she did seem to point out a lot of differences between the dental offices here and the one we went to in California. First and foremost, they didn't have pictures in their waiting room. Secondly, the dentist was different. Thirdly and most important there was no tv for her to watch while she got her teeth cleaned. Lucky for me the hygienist was Japanese and probably didn't understand the muttering of my three year old, if she had I may have been embarrassed. This is one of the little gems that came out of her mouth, "they could put the tv there" while pointing to the corner of the room.  She did get 2 stickers and a ring with an angel on it. No free toothbrush though, which is fine, we have plenty from our dentist at home.  I suppose no free toothbrushes is the military's way of cutting back on expenses. I hope all you tax payers appreciate our sacrifice.
